An organisation which overlooks how agencies co-operate to protect children in Birmingham, has released a statement following the guilty verdict of the mother who murdered her two-year-old son in Birmingham.

This is an extremely sad case and my sympathies are with those who knew Keanu.

It is already clear that there are lessons to learn from how various agencies worked together to support Keanu and his family.

The serious case review into Keanu’s death will now be completed and will be published shortly. This review will identify those lessons, establish what has changed since Keanu’s death and importantly make recommendations on how we can further improve the safeguarding of children in Birmingham.
